ROS

What is
ROS?
The Review of Systems (ROS) screen is where a user can view and enter the
details about the review of the patient's system information for each
encounter date.

To open
the ROS screen:

Click
on the blue bar labeled ROS on the right hand side of the Patient Dashboard
in OfficeEMR™. The ROS screen will be displayed.

Previous
Encounter Date - If the ROS has been entered for a previous encounter
date, clicking on the drop-down list and selecting a previous encounter
date will display the ROS details for the selected encounter date. If
no encounter date is selected, the ROS screen is ready for entry of the
new ROS details.

Encounter
Date - This field defaults to the date
on the appointment schedule on the left hand side of the OfficeEMR™
screen. If a new ROS is being entered for the
patient and the encounter date that is listed is incorrect, the correct
encounter date can be manually entered into the encounter date field.
A warning message will display to let the user know that the encounter
date is different than the patient's scheduled appointment date that is
displayed on the Schedule.

Template - The user's default ROS template will be
displayed. To select a different ROS template, click on the drop-down
list to select a different ROS template.

Summary
This section will display the details of the ROS summary for the selected
encounter date. If no encounter date is selected, but new ROS information
is being entered, the summary section will display each item as it is
selected in the categories below.

Template
Categories- Depending on what template
is selected by the user, the blue bar categories that are available may
vary. However, the functionality on using the blue bars is the same.

Left
click on a category blue bar to expand the details of the category. All
categories below the selected category will be moved down to make room
for the options available for selection in the category.

Left
clicking on another category will collapse the previously opened category.

Users
can click the tab button to move from field to field and to the next category,
users can use a left mouse click button to get to each field as needed,
or users can use the on-screen keyboard to make the selections.

Clicking
a checkbox will mark that item as selected.

Entering
information into a text box that is linked under a checkbox will automatically
select the checkbox item as well.

Once
information has been selected, an arrow icon () will display
on the blue bar to let the user know that information has been selected
in that category.

Once all selections have been
made to the ROS template categories to document the details of the review
of the patient's system, the information can be saved by clicking on the
Apply or OK button.

Note:
Users can
choose to not save the information on this screen until the other screens
have been completed for the patient's encounter. However, if the user
forgets to save the information on the patient before shutting down OfficeEMR™
or if the user's internet connection is lost, the information entered
on the patient could be lost.

For instructions on setting
up a new ROS template or for instructions on making changes to an existing
ROS template, go to EMR Templates Setup.
